Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Thursday said a step has been taken to make the Speedy Trial Act permanent, but it is not to suppress any group or political party.
“Implementation of the Speedy Trial Act to maintain law and order has yielded results. The law will not be used to suppress the opposition, but against those who enforce blockades and destabilize law and order,” he said.
The Minister said these things while answering the questions of journalists after inaugurating the online firearms license renewal program in the conference room of the Home Ministry located at the Secretariat in the afternoon.
